Explained with music! XD


" I try to be perfect but nothing was  worth it . I don't believe it makes me real"

These words basically reflect the past few months in one way or another.



The past few months has me feeling like everything is so PLASTIC!

You know how when you where a rebellious teenager and feel like "it's me VS the world" thing ? Yeah ...that feeling!

I found myself drowned in paperwork listening to various bands ...when words fail , music speaks ....

I'm not bothered by the paper work ( well I am but paperwork won't make you feel plastic)

It's just that the world is build in a way where we have to "PUT UP A SHOW" all the time ...

Long story short? They expect and want to show others .....

THIS



But we feel more comfortable in our own skin and just wanna have some ...


FUN!!!



( pun intended ...lol)

But when "playing classical finger style guitar perfectly at the age of 5" is expected of us and we end messing up a little here and there , dissatisfaction comes running through... and you hear things like " How can this be? you are expected to do great and put up a good show ...yet you wore your bow-tie backwards " or " Yes you smiled but your teeth were yellowish...how embarrassing ! " 

Hearing that, we become less motivated and end up feeling like 

THIS



Every ounce of motivation and probably passion to do our best is extinguished .....

I'm not talking about failing at something or making a mistake and facing the music for it ...I'm talking about people trying their best and having fun and learning in the process but PERFECTION is expected ...clean cut , zero mistake ,PLASTIC like output is expected  ...

We have to remind ourselves that we are only human and we can't be perfect even if we try to...Let's be creative , thinking out of the box and giving a chance for people to develop in a healthy mindset .... 

Disclaimer: I'm not trying to be rebellious nor do I feel like the world is against me . I also don't feel like I'm better of alone ...lol ....I'm just trying to tell everyone that PLASTIC is expected of us and we should be allowed to " BE LIKE WATER" ( yes, a Bruce Lee quote haha), flexible so we can be the best of ourselves ... coz we are the most productive that way....

WE AREN'T MADE OF PLASTIC  and PERFECT doesn't exist ! unless you exist in the trucks in the video below ....
